    Pedicle grafts are a soft tissue graft that is rotated or otherwise repositioned to correct an adjacent defect. They are used to widen an inadequate zone of attached gingiva to repair an isolated area of gingival recession. The base of the graft remains attached to the donor site to maintain the blood supply.
